The UN is bringing together two rivals! There were two rival governments in North Africa and now finally they are coming together. Bernardino Leon is the UN special envoy and he said that the members of this new unified government have already been decided.
There has been a hige rivalry in Libya for quite some time and many Libyans have lost their lives over this conflict. This all occurred when an alliance of militias from Mistrata took ove rthe capital, Tripoli. This group drove out the government that was recognized internationally.
The UN was able to form a new government with people that both sides could agree on. There has been some trouble disbanding the militias and of the former general.
I think this is absolutely great. I think the UN did a phenomenal job with keepig the peace and having people represent Libya that both sides could agree on. The UN's job is to promote international cooperation and here they are doing it. I think Libya's future looks good.
